Microbiological Induced Corrosion (Sulphate-Reducingbacteria) Attack in Oil/Gas Refining Industries: An Overview
Keywords:
MIC, Inspection Programs, Qualtiy Control, Oil and Gas Sector.Abstract
Several critical equipment in Oil and Gas refining facilitates experiencing an accelerated corrosion attack when microbes or bacterial species reacts with the metallic surface typically referred as Microbiological induced corrosion. MIC is an electrochemical mode of corrosion where the type of material and the chemical medium plays major role with the microbes and resulted in surfaces that are covered with a thin film called (biofilm). This type of corrosion has been known as a costly phenomenon as they reported to cost 20% of the total reported corrosion cost.
